Dedicated IL-2 Server - A Dumb Question!

I think I know the answer but I want to be 100% sure.

I am setting up a IL-2 FB/AOE server for my clan and we obviously want to joing this clan server thru HyperLobby. Now, the server sits in a data center and I have full access. I have all the Win Dedicated server files on the server (following the wildhoney guide) and I can actually get the server up a running using the FBserver exe. In order to host the server in Hyperlobby, do I have to have the full game installed on the server and then run the Hyperlobby client on the dedicated server? I'm guessing yes, which is a huge problem since I can't get to the server physically. Any thoughts on this?

Also, once it is running, do I have to make any modifications to the server.cmd file? If so, where can I find some help with that?

Thanks for your help.

Well, I've somewhat answered my own question.

I now have a IL-2 FB dedicated server up and running and can then join that server thru HL. I do have to have the FBServer.exe setup on my client as indicated in the wildhoney guide.

Now if I can get a mission rotation script working and then locate a remote admin tool I'll be in business.

I have fb ded servr running on one machine. To join it with HL client from another machine do I need a separate account?
